Immortal of the Ages

Chapter 455 - The Primordial Ruins in Flames!

"Corpse energy?"

"Yes, corpse energy. After smelling it, the world in my eyes suddenly changed drastically. All the colors and dreams vanished, replaced by a deep sea of grey and black, filled with blood from corpses. All laughter turned into screams and wailing. Everywhere were wronged souls and dismembered bodies, along with all sorts of demons, like me, immersed in joy," Pale Revenant spoke with a hint of fear in her heart.

"So, this dazzling sea is just a grand illusion that spans the entire Oblivion Demon Sea, enchanting all demons into a state of bliss? In reality, it's actually a slaughter ground?" Yun Xiao raised an eyebrow in question.

"Exactly! It's a grand illusion of the entire sea," Pale Revenant nodded.

"The creator of all this, it's the Dreamsea Abalones, right?" Yun Xiao inquired.

"How did you know?" Pale Revenant asked, slightly surprised.

Yun Xiao pulled out the Heaven Burial Sword Soul, pointing to the ten Yang Immortal Sword Rings on it, "These all come from Dreamsea Abalones."

"Oh." Pale Revenant nodded, then seriously said, "From what I've seen, the Dreamsea Abalones are quite formidable. Their illusion skills are unparalleled... In fact, the Oblivion Demon Sea is home to only one kind of demon, the Dreamsea Abalone Clan. All the other demons are merely their food in dreams, living and dying in bliss, never realizing that everything they experienced was false."

"That powerful?" Yun Xiao glanced at Pale Revenant, "You've grown so much this time, and your corpse resentment has become so strong. Did you eat all their stored food?"

Pale Revenant blushed. "Those demon corpses have been dead for a long time. I didn't touch the ones still alive."

"Next time, you can even touch the living ones," Yun Xiao said.

"Yes," Pale Revenant complied obediently.

"I didn't expect you to find such a loophole in the Oblivion Demon Sea in such a short time. In that case, stay in the Primordial Ruins and help me for now," Yun Xiao instructed.

"Mhm!" Pale Revenant nodded, her eyes brimming with undisguised excitement.

"By the way, you stole the food of the Dreamsea Abalones. How did they react?" Yun Xiao asked.

"They just happened not to be there," Pale Revenant looked up at Yun Xiao, "That's also why I rushed back."

"You mean, they've come here?" Yun Xiao asked.

"I vaguely heard their arrangements. Now, most of them have already infiltrated the Primordial Ruins. Some may be around the Nine Hells. They all possess illusory magic, making it hard to identify them as demons," Pale Revenant said earnestly.

"What's their purpose for coming out in full force?" Yun Xiao frowned and asked.

"It seems to be about saving the Nian? This is what I vaguely heard, but I can't guarantee its truth," Pale Revenant said.

"Saving the Nian? The Nian isn't a demon, and it has nothing to do with the Dreamsea Abalones..." Yun Xiao was puzzled, noting this information while considering many possibilities.

"Their strength is formidable. Please, be extra careful," Pale Revenant warned.

"These Dreamsea Abalones are very ancient demons. They've survived until now, even the Three Immortals couldn't subdue them. They definitely have some tricks up their sleeve," Yun Xiao stated calmly.

"Their leader is called Divine Immortal, and it seems capable of transforming into anything, even someone close to you. Be even more cautious," Pale Revenant mentioned the demon, slightly wary.

"Transform into someone close to me?" Yun Xiao quickly turned the Prison Warden Life Sigil into the Soulfire Eye, glancing at Pale Revenant. Thankfully, she was indeed the real Pale Revenant.

"Sigh..." Yun Xiao took a deep breath, looking towards the restless and boiling night sky, softly saying, "The bad news is, another troublesome group has entered the fray. They definitely mean no good for humanity, becoming the Primordial Ruins' biggest enemy apart from the devils. But the good news is... they are now also the Three Immortals' biggest enemy."

The Three Immortals and the Dreamsea Abalones, one dominating the myriad worlds of humanity, the other leading the worlds' demons, both were sovereigns of their kind.

Interestingly, their methods of dominion shared a certain method.

The Three Immortals relied on the All Life Devouring Gu, draining the practitioners of the Primordial Ruins.

The Dreamsea Abalones directly used illusions to create a false world of ecstasy, making the strongest group of demons live in a drunken dream.

"And now, they are eyeing the same treasure?" Yun Xiao gazed into the night sky.

The fires outside were growing fiercer.

"As dawn breaks, it's going to be Three Immortals Day. What exactly are these people waiting for?"

For some reason, a strong sense of crisis had already formed in Yun Xiao's heart.

?ι══????????══ι?

Deep into the night, in the Heavenly Order Temple of the Sky Source Ruins, a thousand individuals dressed in gold, silver, and black robes gathered within the grand hall.

The dimly lit temple, with its walls casting numerous shadows, seemed to be filled with people, yet cast ghostly silhouettes.

The atmosphere inside the temple was extremely solemn and fierce.

Amidst the respectful crowd, a cauldron was placed down, filled with dozens of heads, piled up to the brim.

At the top of the cauldron, the head of the red-robed woman served as the crowning touch.

Below it were the heads of the Mysterious Sword Manor Masters and others, followed by the Dharma Kings.

The thousand-strong crowd on the scene, with their faces twisted in ferocity and heavy breathing, stared at the jar with eyes filled with savage ferocity.

"Sky Source Son, Mystic Earth Son, and Human Zenith Daughter, please give your orders!"

Tian Yulan, the Drunk Mad Sword, and other Celestial Officials all looked up at the three elders sitting above them, their eyes red with fervor.

These three held the highest prestige among the children of the Three Immortals. In the absence of the Three Immortals, they represented the Primordial Ruins.

Among them, the Sky Source Son was known as Tian Ding.

The Mystic Earth Son, a silver-robed elder, appeared more valiant compared to the skeletal Tian Ding, with white hair and a youthful face, his eyes bright and spirited.

The Mystic Earth Son's name was Xuan Jian.

There was also the Human Zenith Daughter, actually an old crone, with white hair and a hunched, somewhat short and plump figure, her face marked by a centipede-like scar, making her look fierce and ugly.

But she had a name that intrigued many—Jian Mei. Perhaps she was a beauty in her youth, but now, at the age of several hundred, she was nearing the natural lifespan of humans.

Below these three, the forces of the Three Great Ruins, ancient families of the Primordial Ruins, and others had all gathered!

These thousands had all crossed over the Five Decays Realm, becoming Immortals with lifespans of several hundred years.

When the heads of the red-robed woman and others were brought back, the truth behind the Pathseeker Society and Jade Immortal Tower incidents was also revealed.

They had all been played! The direct descendants of the Three Immortals, manipulated and killed by a youth, where was their dignity and honor?

"Two points! First, his Sword Soul can absorb Sword Hearts. Second, he has ten Sword Rings. Just these two points, we need to act immediately and eliminate Yun Xiao!" Tian Yulan addressed the Sky Source Son.

"These two points are indeed astonishing. The threat of Yun Xiao is not less than that of Lian Xi, even more sinister," the Jade Immortal Tower Lord said with dark red eyes. He had also reidentified the true killer of his daughter!

The Jade Immortal Tower Lord, along with the Moonsong Tower Lord and several hundred outside powerhouses, represented the ancient family forces of the Primordial Ruins, their history here longer than any of the Three Immortals' descendants.

"He even dared to kill an Immortal supervisor like Li Hongpao. This kid has not a shred of reverence in his mind."

"A fugitive!"

Many voices rose in eagerness for vengeance.

Yet, there were those who remained calm.

"No rush. After his killing spree, he must have hidden inside the Primordial Pagoda. Better to wait for him to hole up in his den, then deal with him and Lian Xi together."

"Dawn is near, the sun and moon will soon align, and we'll take care of it all at once."

"That makes sense."

The crowd discussed gravely.

Throughout this, Tian Ding, Xuan Jian, and Jian Mei kept their gaze on the shocked head of the red-robed woman, silently pondering.

After a while, Tian Ding spoke gravely, "Push this cauldron to the marketplace, light it up again, let the public's hatred for Yun Xiao grow, leading them to attack the Primordial Ruins first."

"Understood!"

Quickly, 100 people set out to do just that. The rest fell into silence.

Soon, the uproar outside grew; a towering rage swept towards the Primordial Academy.

After the outing of Lian Xi as a child of disaster, the murderous fiend Yun Xiao had also been thrown into the fray!

Inside the Heavenly Order Temple, only the sound of dead silence remained.

Finally, as daylight broke, Tian Ding, Xuan Jian, and Jian Mei suddenly left their seats, knelt to the ground, and called out with utmost devotion, "Welcome, Mystic Earth True Immortal!"
